At yesterday’s regular city commission meeting, BPU General Manager Tim Maier reminded local residents that the final water meter readings have been made for McPherson area customers.

“So if you have a leak, you don’t get a monthly reminder,” Maier explained. “You might get a reminder in three months, and by that time you could have an extremely large bill.

“So I want to make sure customers -- if they have drippy faucets, leaky toilets, a leak out front – make sure and get those repaired as quickly as you can,” Maier advised. “[We want to] make sure people don’t get the shock there when they get that bill.”
